I’m creating Rmds for each of the datastreams used in this project. Because our deployments were a little complex, and both SWAP and Firesting datasets were somewhat cobbled together, it’s important to document as many details as possible as clearly as possible in order to streamline QC, clearly ID and explain any data decisions, and make the methods section easy to write.
Sapflow sensors were deployed well prior to any flooding in three species of trees across TEMPEST plots. I honestly don’t know much about their deployment, which is okay because these data, in contrast to TEROS/Firesting/SWAP datasets is being pulled in as L1 curated data from GDrive meaning initial QC has already taken place (no need to edit timestamps, etc).
Let’s first take a look at all the raw data.
